MAGAZINE DAY, THE LONDON MAGAZINE FOR AUGUST. We have cast a hasty glance over thisim — using pub . lication, and find many articles of varied interest, but we have not room or leisure to particularize. Towards the end of the Number, our attention was involuntarily arrested by a Three Days' Walk in the Highlands, which appears to be written with much taste and ori ginality. The author seems to have caught the " mountain inspiration" from the Spirit of the hills, and describes the natural scenes of Caledonia, m all their wildness and witching beauty. " The morn was up again —the dewy morn,--with breath all incense, and with cheek a ll bl oom ,' &c. ; —the very de ser t s m il e d under the influence of a bright sun; and the showers of the night had refreshed the parched heather, -and called forth its fragrance, Which was to me a most delicious parttime. The scene, I believe, was. nothing more than a continuation of that which had inspired me with. so much ennui on the preceding- night; but it now seemed that even the wilderness had charms, and that a man might live in this country and yet hope to be .reasonably happy. I walletl for some time under the quickening influence of those feelings which pedestrians alone- enjoy ; till my raptures were Somewhat abated by the recurrence of the pain in my left knee, anci,Vhegrat to feer that one cannot he even walker without practice. The aociie however visibly improved: •Dirarf birches and alders begari . again to f e ath er th e s id es of the hillP, and edge the borders of the water. The hills receded and the valley ex panded; the river grow „broader and poured a more copious torrent of water, whilst a more refreshing green occasionally adorned its banks, and patches of corn of all shapes and sizes unde fended by any thing like hedge or ditch, more frequently che quered the moss and heather. I was in the midst of Strathspey, ,on the banks of the Spey, with the high 'hills of Badenooh around the and in the distance the lofty peak of Cairngontm, whence come the beautiful stones of that name. I was now to look out fora white house, where a friend of mine had appointed to meet me, and where he had assured me•l should find a hospitable wel .come. I saw one, at a considerable distance on the other side of ;the river prettily seated near the bottom of the hill, with that abundance of green patches around it, which marks the favourite seat of the sheep farmer, and such was the ci-Bevan! Captain M. As I drew nearer, I discerned two persons standing on the green before the house, one of them looking attentively through what seemed a perspective glass ; and by the advantage of an interven ing ascent, I surprised them in the act of reconnoitering the road, at the distance of about four miles, there being no hedge-row trees in these parts to impede the prospect, in quest of me. Mr. an officer of foot in the Duke of York's memorable expe dition to Holland and now a sheep-fanner, came forward to welcome roe, with nothing of the air of a military man, but with the cordiality and native politeness of a Highlander.—His house was a neat white-washed cottage of pretty considerable dimensions ; in accommodations scarcely equal to a respectable villager's house in an ordinary village. • " The dinner which was soon announced, concluded with a novel dainty, .o/ which I had never Been the like-=-a preparation of milk of the consistence of jelly, which is eaten with cream if such be the taste of the party. In the articles of milk, cream and butter, they 'surpass the choicest productions of English dairies ; the reason of which was once given me by a 'Highlander, c 0, it a' the heather flowers, and the nat'ral grass.' 'ln'the Highlands they sow no clover, and the spontaneous grass of the hill and vale is far sweeter than the comparatively rank crops that are obtained from English pastures. Added to this, they are not articles of ink among them, being made only for home consumption. Some thing also may be ascribed to the little black Highland cow, a much incise delicate creature than the milky mothers of , ourAnin herds.—What with their delicate mutton, their swot potato* their *staid supplies of milk and cream, which are introduced in every shape, and are the invariable accompaniinente of every kind of fruit and pastry, a Highland repast is to be preferred to a city feast. Dr. Johnson, I think, complains on one occasion of being able to procure nothing but whisky-6 She sold nothing but whisky.'--I have never been in a hovel so poor that did not afford a bowl of milk, which I should have pronounced to be cream, either for money or for love." . The following circumstance is highly interesting, exhibiting at once the fidelity and devotion of the Highland character, as well as the weakness of human nature : " After the final dispersion of the clans at Culloden, old Cluny is said to hays remained in hiding Among his own hills for ten long years ; whether that he was unable to find means to leave the country, or tluit he was loath to abatidon it, or, as my informer seemed to think, he still continued like Mr. Redgeentlet to foster hopes • that the right side' would yet turn uppermost. His favourite retreat, fiw he hid many, was on the little wooded knoll I have mentioned, where two of his clansmen under the cover of night built him a hut half sunk in the ground, and thatched aboVe with rushes; the whole being so completely shrouded by the alders ce. and birch - t rees aroun d, as to set the moot inquisitive eye at defian It had the advantage too of being but IF short distance from hie own caitle, whither he could "occisionally venture down, and warm hiMself by his sin ingle nook. He continued to make this his principal abode, till it was accidentally discovered by one of his own elan, a prying, prating fellow, with Whowno secret was safe: This Macpherson, if I recollect right, had scrambled down to the thicket to gather nuts, when happening unwittingly to tread on the roof of Climy's hut, his foot went through it and disturbed the; chief in his lonely meditatione. The latter not knowing what to expect, instantly made his appearance before the eyes of his astonished clansman :—" God bless me, Cluny, is that you ?" exclaimed he, "I am glad to see you." " But lam not glad to see you, Donald," returned the chief. " Why so, Cluny ; do you think I would betray your " No, Ido not think yon would betray me; but I know that Wore morning this story will be in every old wife' mouth in the 'wrath." " I will be as Silent as if I were in my grave." " And in your grave yon would he, were to deal with you ea I ought, and as self-defence bids me." The chief understood his clansman's weaknms too well to trust him. He took a start over the hill, and b e f ore day-break was 20 miles (hltant from th e spot; and well for him he wax so, for be fore morning dawned a party of red -coats had visited it, and laid bare the inclosure. a another proof o f t h e unconquerable fide lilyer' era to their chiefs. That he w as somewhere Cl o u f nY th ss e et Highlanders affaimd concealed in - the country, ,,,,,,„ a fact known to all the people of the district ; alert and yet forl 0 years he contrived t o c h i d e the vigi ht'ine.one°orceasion persona to apprehend hi m .

We think it an intolerable one, being nothing more nor less than legalized robbery, damping the ardour of Authors, and cramping the energies of Publishers. 1. MAXIMS TO LIVE BY. BY A Atlnfith OF ?HZ stinnt.c ORDEAL If you must flatter your friends, contrive not to be too par timilar in your compliments, lest a large portion of - what you be stow in this kind of coin should turn out, eventually, to be so many excerpts from your own pockets. If you tell authors or artists that they are dersi-gods and goddesses, they will, should you after wards wish to profit by their professional aid, require to be remu nerated in exact proportion to the rank with which your courtesy may have invented them. Their arguments in defence of their exorbitant estimates of their importance, will, if deduced from your own idle and fulsome compliments to them, prove wholly un answerable; since immortals, whether poets or painters, will naturally expect a higher rate of compensation for their services, then mere ordinary matter-of-fact people can have any right to anticipate. That philosopher who has declared that civil words may be employed with advantage upon all occasions, because they are unattended with expenee, could have possessed but a very limited knowledge of the world. Pat a spoiled urchin on the head and tell him he is a nice boy, and be will forthwith look for sonic premium at your heads : ffor hie good behaviour. Should be be disappointed, he will inevitably set you down either for a liar or I cheat. Upon pretty much the same principle, if a butter -mouth- Et bookseller or picture-fancier were to compliment an artist or an author, by protesting that one painted like Sir Thomas Law rence, and the other wrote like the " Great Unknown," he would, did he afterwards happen to have any business to transact with the object of his Summery, speedily discover, to his cost, that both the painter and the poet will take rare to resemble their distin guished archetypes itimore respects than one. To compress much useful advice into a very few word,* make the rille.absoltate never to flatter unless you entertain a conviction, amounting almost to a certainty, that it trill not turn out to be at your own expcnce! IL—A HACKNEY 'COACHMAN. It is seldom good policy to attempt to make a bargain with a hackney coachman, however great the distance it may be cortveni. ent to you to take him ; fur if you do, he will be sure not to ask you a sixpence less than his legitimate fare ; whilst, on the other. band, the chances are in the proportion of &boot ten to one that he. will demand two or three shillings more. Your endeavour, by ascertaining his charge beforehand, to screen younwlf from the possibility of imposition, has no more bent cial effectth an that of betraying your own ignorance of what you ought to pay, and 4- fording Janie the means of turning it to account. If you enter-' tain the slightest doubt as to his fare, take your seat in his coach with an air of quiet nose/mimic's, and when you arrive at your place of destination coolly inquiti the amount of his demand ; casting at the sa me t i me a pret ty o b v i ous g l ance at his number. Hite employs the word ought in his rejoinder, You may Wetly give him from sixpence to a shilling less than he asks, for if he oubts, he is Cure not to give you the benefieof hie uncertainty. However, if You do but prefer your inquiry with the tone and gesture of a ve teran fare, he will scarcely venture to impose upon you. gen l u l i l n e e fo o l r l O n w o i beautiful lines, wheth er , they 411 LINN cLOIMEN ABBEY EY xoHiaT 11OR2tS• S Ye holy walk, that still, etiblims, Resist the crumbling touch of time; now *troll* still your fQrin displays The piety of ancient days!

Crowd thick on Fancy's wondering eye, And wake the soul to musings high. Even now, as lost in thought profound, I view the solemn scene around, And pensive gaze, with wistful eyes, The past returns, the present flies ; Again the dome, in pristine pride Lifts high its roof, and arches wide, That knit with curious tracery Each Gothic ornament display. The high-arched windows, painted fair, Shew many a saint and martyr there; As on their slender forms I gaze, Methinks they brighten to a blaze; With noiseless step, and taper bright, What are yon forms that meet my eight ? Slowly they move, while every eye Is heaven-ward raised in ecstacy. 'Tis the fair, spotless vestal train, That seek in prayer the midnight Lane. And hark ! what more than mortal sound Of music, breathes the pile around ? 'Tis the soft chaunted choral sang, WhOse tones the echoing aisles prolong ; Till thence returned they softly stray O'er Clouden's wave with fond delay ; Now on the rising gale swell high, And now in fainting murmurs die.. The boatmen on Nith's gentle stream, That glisten in the pale moon's-beam, Suspend their dashing oars to hear The holy anthem, loud and clear ; Bitch worldly thought awhile forbear, And mutter forth a half-formed prayer. But as I gaze the vision fails, Like frost-work touched by southern gales; The altar sinks, the tapers fade, And all the splendid scene's decayed. In window fair the painted pane, No longer glows with holy stain, But through the broken glass, the gale Blows chilly from the misty vale. The bird of eve flits sullen by, Her home these aisles and arches high ; The choral hymn, thit erst so clear, Broke softly sweet on Fancy's ear, IS drowned amid the mournful scream, That breaks the magie of my dream ; Reused by the sound, I start and see The ruined sad reality ! . THE DIORAMA IN REGENT'S PARK This interesting exhibition continues , to be as at, tractive as ever — , -even in-the ,present deserted state of the town, the number of its visitors does not appear to be diminished. It is not one of .those scenes that satiate 'all'at once, and excite no curiosity in the spec tator to pay them n second visit—the oftener we ace it the more we are struck with its beauties, and the more we admire the ingenuity which represents some of the richest, and most luxuriant displays of nature, and the effeot , of time upon the operations of art, to such an imposing perfection as to make them appear realities. That person must be endowed with more than an ordinary degree ,of perspicacity, who on the first sight of this exhibition (prejudice apart) will not imagimi that he has an original before him. The first impression which a view of the city. of Rouen makes on the mind -of a speetatOr is, that he hes been suddenly transported int o some reg i on of fairy land, whore, a l l the beauties of nature are congregated in regular order, doing honour to that oddess, The groves, l a k es , an d verdant fiel ds—.-the build ings, mountains and clouds—the various tints of light and shade, the rainbows and the rain appearing in natural order and perfection, produce a magi ca l effect that mocks • descripti o n. 44 WC happened to d ro p i n ! there on Saturday last," and " we, hope we do not! intrude" on our readers by giving a dialogue which we heard on i that occasion. 0, mother, what part of the country is that where the beautiful groves and lakes are ?" exclaimed a boarding-school looking-Miss about fourteen, on her entrance. Mother—That is the city of Rouen, my dear. Misr—Eow did they carry all that water here ? Mother--My dear it is not water, but canvas. , Mig—Canvas, Mother l--Sure there is not canvas, enough in all the world to cover that country—why it. is more than twenty miles long. Mother—lt is not spread as you think, my dear, it is up against a wall. Miss—A. wall I I see no wall but the walls of the houses, and there is no canvas on them i how fortunate mother, we have just got in time enough to escape the shower. Mother—lt does not rain at all, my dear, it is nothing but an imitation on canvas. I wish you would buy some of that raining canvas, mother, t 9 water the flowers with," cried a little girl about eight ] years old, who sat in silent attention and admiration' all along ; when the merriment which this observatiori excited had subsided, the little girl resumed, « I wisl4 mother you would take us down there whe n th e s h ower is over." Bless the I" cried a lady on seeing the view of Roslyn Chapel, 4 , how wonderful is the work of art who could imagine that that was not real, if we did not know it ?" "Stuff!" replied a John Bullish looking man, whom we took to be her husband, and whose ruddy face indicated his late arrival from the country, " I would not believe St. Paul himself if he said, that them there pillars were not stones. Don't you see where three or four stones fell out r —there they are lying on the ground, and there are the flags ou r o f their place on the floor too ; what is it but the inside of an old church, got up on purpose to take money , out of the people's pockets, I would not spend my time looking at it, I can see a better building ev er y day for notlung.

TO THE EDITOR. . Sir,—ln October, 1824, 1 quitted England for Greece, pursuance of my resolution to, add .my huinhle ' elforts hts, its honour, and its very existenc e . At th a t ti me 1 I those of a generous nation engaged in a struggle for its t the'Philhellenes of England loud in their protestations d vehement in their professions of good-will to the reek cause. A few days ai n ee, I returned hither, and fund the 'same penions„ not, a s I ex p ec t e d, e xc it e d l,y the ternate vicissitudes of good and bad f or tu ne , and by the noble resistance of the Hollenes, *t o f res h exert i ons i n t h e i r favour, but indi ff erent to thei r s ucc e ss an d f orget f u l o f their promises. Those who do not openly oppose the cause of liberty, are satisfied with expressing sentiments of (Impassion and deSpair ten times more injurious. To these I may render myself acceptable either by espousing their opinions or by giving a tacit consent to their asser tons. The injustice of such a course induced me to break i f he silence I had resolved to maintain, and honestly to publish my opinion with r es p ect to t h e present state . o f t h e reek contest. I left Hydra on the I Ith, an d N a p o li on tjte 14th of May. At that period one general reeling, excited by the scent fall of Missolonghi, and stimulated by theythlica tion of the noble decrees, issued ,by the national Congress Most Epidauras, had unit e d ever y p arty , an d rouse d t h e Most apathetic. Indignation at the . 'bloody massacre of their countrymen which had just taken place; pervaded every bosom, and strengthened every Greek in his deter mination to perish rather than submit. Those who are acqnainted with the nature of the Greek contest must feel convinced that this resolution is rendered unnecessary, 'since submission and death are, in this struggle, synony pious terms. . . resolution -, The Government had resolved on introducing a body f 5,000 Rumeliors into the Mores, and hod issued a de i;reeeeti i t n o for c ra ar e r d y that ir e l opening themselves a path through the midst of hostile s i o n rong e h ir i e o e t t s . had it s h u ad ccee allu ded j ust iti ,forces, and had reached Salem, in safety, where they were xpecting the orders of the Government, with a firm deci sion to revenge themselves for the loss of every tie which ound them to life. I was informed that Niketas had sue -I.ceeded in taking Tripolizza by storm, and that Ibrahiin iPaclus had up to th a t ti me not remove d from *Pares. .. The Terkish fleet had sailed for the Dardanelles, the Egyptian for Alexandria. Sixty-five Greek vessels hail ,assembled at Napoli, and were joined daily by others; they. were in anxious expectation of the arrival of Lord Cochrane, and were determined to co-operate with that, distinguished Admiral for the good .of Greece. The Admiral Miattlis,, in whose vessel I served, has often declared in my hearing his willingness to abandon his rank, and to submit to the command of theirkallant ally :--" For the good of my country," said he, " I will, if neces sary, become a common sailor." Those who know this brave man and excellent patriot, will dnlv appres ciate the value of his determination. The ttongest tribute I can pay him, is to assert that he is the friend of COmmodore Ilamilton. Whilst speaking of naval matters, I may be allowed to refer to the pirates who infest the w a t ers o f Greece, and who furnish many with a pretext for denouncing the cause as subversivc-of every principle of erder, and for denominating the Greek seamen hordes otrobbirs, Nene can more anxiously de sire the destruction of the pirates than the Greeks them selves, and if their fleet was not occupied in the arduous duty of defending the country, it would certainly devote its strength to putti ng down those common enemies of ail nations. They arc convinced'of the injury occasioned by the pirates to their sacred conte st , an d would willingly co operate in any measure which might serve to destroy them. Yet even for these deluded men there is an excuse to be pleaded. They turn their arms against European vessels, for European vessels, p rotecte d b y the colours of their re spective nations, have, by affording succour to their ene mies, conspired to render them homeless, and piracy their sole reeeorce for subsistence. The above is a candid description of the present state of Greek affairs, to which I add my frank opinion, that I consider the Greek cause at present far more hopeful - than it has been at any period during the ewo years that I have served the Government of Greece ; and' . am'well convitt ced that, if thos e who have adVanced their .Money for the assistance of, the Hellenes, a n d t h ose w h o f eel, or pre tend to feel, solicitous for their success and welfare, will not withhold their aid at this momentous epoch, .the con test will not be much longer protracted. Let no noto con ceive an idea that by abandoning Greece to herself she will be compelled to yield--though deierted by her fellow Christians, she will persevere in her efforts, and if she sinks, it will be into the grave l In the name of the country o f my adoption, in behalf of the decendants of those to whom we are so deeply in debted, I implore all their co-religionists to cave them from the cinutars of the TUrkis, or from their own swords. I call upon those who have devoted their pecnniary means to . Greece not to desert hernoiv, for their interests will be ensured or sacrificed in proportion as they Haien to or neglect my call. Those who have given 'statistical reports of Greece. have proved how immense her iesour ees would be if peace and a few years' tranquillity rendered the m avail able. Having been constantly engaged at sea, I cannot add my own remarks on thil point ; but from the little I have seen, anti frorn 'all I have heard, 1 'am certainly of opinion that the independence of Greece will leave leer creditors nothing to fear. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient servant, JOHN M. ALLEN, Captain, G r ee k N ivy.
